according to buzzfeed, settlers of catan is really popular. um. duh? pretty much everyone i know plays it all the time. it’s even becoming sort of passé, it seems. how odd to find the internet lagging behind the news.
and yes, i purposely wrote the title of this post to be anachronistic 😉
there is a film shooting on my block today, and the honey wagon is parked right in front of my apartment. great.
usually the ‘unknown caller’ texts i’ve received since getting my LA number have been vaguely offensive – messages that have led me to believe that the former owner of this number switched it due to some fallout from her questionable lifestyle. but this is what i received a few minutes ago:
im selling a puppy for 150… its a miniature pinscher mixed with chihuahua if u want a pic let me know… i bought it but cant keep it where i live…
what do all of those ellipses mean?? is there some sort of veiled threat here – if i don’t take this allegedly real puppy, will said puppy be euthanized or sold to an underground dog fighting ring? maybe i am just hyper-sensitive to animal-selling schemes due to pet store/breeder horror stories, but for some reason, this text is really bothering me. it’s bothering me even more than the text that was just

yay more green porno! the first installation (tab that reads ‘green porno 1’) was all about how insects reproduce, and the new series is about sea creatures, and is just as brilliant. like last time, the series rides the line between educational/clever and disturbingly inappropriate, e.g. a gallery of giant construction paper animal penises.
but again – it IS educational! and the sets and costumes are all handmade and amazing. be on the lookout for the dead limpet (you know it’s dead because it has ‘x’s over its eyes) and the great anglerfish costume. ‘whale’ is probably nsfw. ‘barnacle’ is questionable, but i’m pretty sure a casual observer will just think that giant pink thing is a tentacle. and not a barnacle penis.
